HOW TO APPLY FOR A JOBSTUDENT MANUAL PAGE 1

IINTRODUCTION,

important step in the whole

YOU want to apply for a job! BEFORE youapply, you will need a Social Security number.

You will need to know how to fill out a Federal WithholdingForm (W4) and a job application form. You may also need toknow how to take an employment test, answer a newspaper ad-

vertisement, and write a follow-up letter. Probably the mostprocess is the personal job interview. The right job is important! You

will be identified by your job; it will affect your life style, and your future.

4


The steps you take when applying for a ob depend largely on the type of job you want. You

would apply for a job at the local variety store in a different way than you would an office job orfor a job as a dental assistant. Therefore, this booklet is '^ two sections. PART A will show

you how to apply for a job informally (a fast-food ; riety store, sales clerk, janitor or

thousands of other entry-level jobs). PART B will sho to formally apply for a job which

requires skills. (An office or professional type job).

YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER

HOW TO APPLY FOR A JOBSTUDENT MANUAL PART A PAGE 5

\MAI 'INARE RECY

TO BEGI

An employer will not pay anyone who does not have a Social Security Card with a Social

Security number. No one else will have your number. You will keep it for your entire life. Each

time you receive a check, whether it is weekly or monthly, your employer will take a few cents out

of every dollar you earn and send it into a special government fund for you to draw upon when you

retire or to take care of your family in case of your death or disability. Your employer will also

send in a few cents of his profit to apply to your account.

It is a good idea to apply, for your social security number as soon as possible, as it takes a few

weeks to obtain it.

specific information. One way of being sure you will have all the necessary

information is to fill out, and carry with you, a POCKET DATA SHEET. Thisis a small form with all the information you will need to fill out the job application form. It creates

a good impression when you come to the personnel office well prepared. First impressions some-

times determine whether you get the job or not.

amount of additional tax to the government. If he takes out too much, you will receive a refund.To receive a refund, you MUST apply for it by filing an income tax return.

THE RESUME(PERSONAL DATA SHEET)

Often, when advertising for a new employee, an employer will ask for a RESUME' (rez' u ma')to be sent before any personal contact is made. A RESUME' is a typed sheet telling an employer allthe qualifications you have for a job, your address and the names of people who will recommendyou. It is a good idea to make one up and to keep it up to date at all times in case you need it. Itis also extremely important to be prepared when going to apply for a job. You will need to takewith you information which will be needed when filling out an application blank. Such informationincludes: personal information; skills you have learned; education; experience; hobbies; and refer-ences. The resume' differs from the pocket data sheet. The pocket data sheet is for your own infor-mation and is to be usec .4 you and not to be seen by the employer. The RESUME' is often seenand evaluated by the employer.

ITHE TELEPHONE APPOINTMENT

Sometimes a newspaper advertisement says to call for an appointment and indicates a tele-

phone number. If the job for which you are applying requires any contact with the public on thetelephone, that first call you make to the company is very important. WRITE DOWN WHAT YOU

ARE PLANNING TO SAY! and WHAT QUESTIONS you need to ask!

FIRST IMPRESSIONS COUNT!

BE CAREFUL WHEN CALLING FOR AN APPOINTMENT!!!

Planning how you are going to set up an appointment for a job interview is like planning aletter of application. You must first get the listener's attention. Be sure to sound alert, enthusiastic,

and interested in the position. Be ready to answer specific questions if they are asked. It is a gooa

idea to have your resume' nearby so you can refer to it if you need to: Be certain to obtain theinterviewer's name and ask how to spell it to be sure. Repeat the time and day the appointment has

been made. Be courteous, friendly, and brief.

Tune in on the following pages and follow carefully as Chris makes her first call for an appoint-

ment for an interview.

EMPLOYMENT TESTS

Often when applying for a job which requires a skill, you will need to take an employment

test. On the following pages you will find some questions commonly asked on an employment test

for office skills. You will also find a sample typing test and a sample shorthand test.

TESTING PROCEDURE FORSTANDARD OIL COMPANY OF CALIFORNIA

All applicants for typing and stenographic positions are required tocomplete a typing test, a spelling test, and a punctuation test. Those

applicants applying for a stenographic position will take a shorthand testas well. The amount of salary offered will be affected by the testscores.

After a brief warm-up period, the applicant is given two five - minutetyping tests on material of average syllabic intensity. The naterial is

to be typed line for line and double spaced with a five-strol, paragraph

indention. Standardized International Rules are used for scoring. A net

speed of 55 words per minute is the minimum required for the positions oftypist and stenographer. (In an attempt to alleviate tension, the applicant

is informed, prior to testing, that two timed writing fll be given and

the better of the two tests will be used for scoring.,

A short punctuation test involving the use of the comma, semi-colon, colon,quotation marks, question mark, and apostrophe is given. This test

also includes the proper use of the pronoun. The applicant is asked to

correctly punctuate eight sentences and to select the correct pronoun intwo additional sentences. A desirable score would not exceed five errorsout of a possible 25.

The third section of the testing program is a spelling test. The applicant

is given a list of 50 words. Some of these words are spelled correctly andsome are spelled incorrectly. The applicant is to underscore those wordsthat are spelled incorrectly and write them correctly in the space provided.This spelling test is comprised of words commonly misspelled; i.e., wordscontaining double letters or troublesome vowels, etc. The passing grade is

80 percent.

The shorthand test is given at 100 words per minute and the material usedfor dictation is counted by the standard words (28 syllables equal 20

standard words). Two short letters are dictated for warm up; then a letter

three minutes long is dictated for transcription. The applicant is to

transcribe his notes in mailable form--all typographical errors corrected,correct punctuation, spelling, etc. The minimum requirement is 100 words

per minute with a maximum of five errors.

SAMPLE TYPING TEST

The most important job you and every other young person will have through

life is that of critic of your own thoughts, words, and deeds. And this is a

job that may be very interesting, pays well, and never is lost. How well it

is done depends largely on how early you begin to function on this job, how

intelligently criticisms are made, and how soon good habits of doing this work

are formed.

Why did I think about a certain person as I did? Why did I say what I

said? Why did I do what I did? These are questions which should be asked and

answered over and over again concerning important matters of daily conduct.

At first you must consciously force yourself to ask these questions. In

time, if this practice is persisted in, the habit of trying to account for your

conduct in important situations will be formed. Then without conscious effort

you will seek reasons for what you think, say, or do.

It will surprise you to find that often your thinking is not based on

facts; or that what you say is not literally true; or that some of the things

you do are not the things you really should have done under the circumstances.

Once you discover these things, you will want to make amends for wrong things

said and done. But what is more important, you will be on your guard against

a repetition of them. Thus bad habits will be broken and good ones formed.

Not the least important result of self-criticism and the correction of

one's own faults is the elimination, in large part, of the criticism of others.

No one really likes to be criticized by his associates. The only way to avoid

such criticism is to do your own and do it first.


SAMPLE SHORTHAND TEST

100 Words Per Minute

Dear Mr. Green:

No doubt you, like most of us, pay a percentage of your salary

toward Social Security. Yet the chances are you have never taken the

time to investigate fully the Social Security benefits available to you

or to your family.

For example, do you know how much you will receive each month at the

age of 65? Do you know what will happen to your Social Security fund in

the event of your death? Do you know what papers are necessary in

claiming benefits?

These are things you should know. To help you answer them, our

representative, whose name is on the enclosed card, will gladly supply

you with an analysis chart that clearly shows what benefits you or your

family may expect to receive. This as well as other information will be

furnished by our representative with no obligation on your part.

We are extremely sorry that our representative will not be able

to personally visit with you at this time. However, it is our hope that

his analysis chart will provide you with sufficient answers.

If you should have questions which are not answered by the analysis

chart, please complete the enclosed form requesting further information.

This form should be mailed to our representative for a prompt response.

Very truly yours,

Form W-4 (Revised April 1975)Employee's Withholding Allowance Certificate

(Use for wages paid after April 30, 1975 and before January 1, 1976)The explanatory material below will help you determine your correct number of withholding

allowances, and will assist you in completing the Form W-4 at the bottom of this page.Avoid Overwithholding or Underwithholding

By claiming the proper number of withholding allowances you are entitled to. you can fit the amount of tax withheldfrom your wages to your tax liability. In addition to the allowances for personal exemptions to be claimed in items (a) through (g)below, be sure you claim any additional allowances you are entitled to in item (h) "Special withholding allowance,' and item (i)"Allowance(s) for itemized deductions." While these allowances may be claimed on Form W-4 for withholding purposes, they arenot to be claimed under "Exemptions" on your tax return Forrn 1040 or Form 1040A.

You may claim the special withholding allowance if ynu are single with onlyone employer, or married with only one employerand your spouse is not employed. If you have unusually large itemized deductions. you may claim the allowance(s) for itemizeddeductions to avoid having too much income tax withheld from your wages. On the other hand, if you and your spouse are botnemployed or you have more than one employer, you should take steps to assure that enough has been withheld. If you find thatyou need more withholding, claim fewer exemptions or ash for additional withholding. If you are currently claiming additionalwithholding allowances based on itemized deductions, check the table on the back to see that you are claiming the propernumber of allowances,

How Many Withholding Allowances May You Claim?Please use the schedule below to determine the number of allowances you may claim for tax withholding purposes. In deter

mining the number, keels in mind these points: if you are single and hold more than one job, you may not claim the same ollowantes with more than one employer at the same time; or if you are married and both you and your spouse are employed, youmay not claim the same allowances with your employers at the same time. A nonresident alien. other than a resident of Canada.Mexico, or F'uerto Rico, may claim only one personal allowance.
